Document Purpose: Step-by-step instructions wit accompanying pictures for donning and doffing SALUS HC are below. Leverage t is
document to create and modify a donning and doffing reference to accommodate your standard operating procedures. Please refer to
t e SALUS HC Quick Start Guide or Online Interactive User Manual for more information about your powered air-purifying respirator
(PAPR) www.bullard.com/salusHC/getstarted
1. Closely inspect the entire PAPR (Powered Air-Purifying Respirator) system paying attention to
component connection points for wear and damage. If parts are missing or damaged, replace them with
only SA US HC replacement parts before proceeding. Ensure a battery is installed and has a sufficient
charge.
2. Adequate air flow check. With the blower motor OFF, press and hold the power button for ten (10)
seconds until there is an audible sound. This audible sound indicates that there is adequate airflow to
create positive pressure inside the hood.
3. With SA US HC completely assembled, place the PAPR over your head and onto
your shoulders. Balance the carriage front to back for a comfortable fit.
4. Turn the blower motor unit On. Press the button one time to turn the blower motor unit ON. The
blower unit automatically turns ON at the High-speed setting after approximately 3 - 4 seconds. Press the
button again to toggle from High-Speed and ow-Speed.

5. Don the hood starting with your chin and then pull over your head.
6. Connect the buckles on the body straps. Adjust body straps to ensure a comfortable and stable fit.

SA US HC can be worn under isolation gowns with special consideration. The blower motor must not be
covered by the isolation gown to allow the respirator to actively draw air through the filter and into
the hood or breathing zone. Air flow may be reduced and trigger the low airflow alarm if the isolation
gown is covering the air inlet or filter of the respirator.

1. If wearing a PPE gown, remove it following your hospitals protocols.
2. Disconnect both body straps and allow to hang freely at your side.
3. Slide the ball of the carriage release hook down and through the opening on the left shoulder of the
carriage.

4. Move the shoulder carriage and entirety of the PAPR system to the right side of your torso to
prevent the potential contamination of your breathing zone.
5. With the breathing tube still connected, doff the hood back to front.

6. Turn blower OFF. Press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds to turn
the blower unit OFF.
